[Solved] Wordpress Error: “open_basedir restriction in effect”
Keep getting this error on Supanames hosted websites:
Warning: touch() [function.touch]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/all-in-one-seo-pack.zip) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/mydomain/public_html/) in /home/mydoamin/public_html/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 175
Download failed. Could not create Temporary file
Finally got the answer from Supanames support, which relates to this half of the answer:

What you also need to do is:
Enable PHP5 and also the session save path.
Hey presto the annoying error gone (give it a day or so).

Have you gone to the Supanames control panel?
What are the permissions on tmp?
Is it in your web root?
